Staff Training Course held at MQI Secretariat

Directorate of Training of MQI organized a three-day staff training course at
the Central Secretariat from 3 Aug, 2009 to sharpen the skills and build up the
professional capacity of employees working at the Secretariat. The training course
addressed such areas as administrative, organizational and moral matters. The course
was heavily attended by the central leaders, directors, deputy directors and staff
members of different departments of the Central Secretariat. Every day had a different
topic. Abdur Razaq Chaudhry conducted the proceedings of the programme.

First Day of Training Course

The inaugural day of the Course got underway with recitation from the Holy Quran
followed by recital of Naat by Khaleeq Aamir Tahir. Senior naib Nazim-e-Ala, Sheikh
Zahid Fayyaz, chose the subject of "aims and objectives of training sittings". He
said that besides imparting moral and spiritual training of the employees working
at the central secretariat, the course was aimed at improving their managerial and
professional capacity for the production of better results. He advised all the administrative
heads to ensure the presence of employees working under them.

Sahibzada Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, member of MQI Supreme Council, threw light
on the topic of "importance & roadmap of coordination between different departments
of MQI". He said that whichever be the department or directorate one was working
in, one was in fact rendering service in the cause of religion. He said that it
was important that everyone cooperated with the other in the interest of organization
and efficiency. He highlighted the importance of team work and said that joint efforts
could produce amazing results. The proceedings of the first day ended on Dua.

Second Day of Training Course

The second day of the Training Course started with recitation from the Holy Quran
followed by Naat. Brig. (r ) Iqbal Ahmad Khan, naib Amir-e-Tehreek, spoke on the
topic of "Why discipline is important and how can we make ourselves disciplined?"
He said that Allah Almighty created the entire humanity in an order and discipline
and it is the same discipline, which underlines its functioning. He said that we
needed to adopt discipline at individual and collective levels being the crown of
creations. No nation and society could progress unless they made discipline their
national habit.

Afterwards, Sahibzada Miskin Faiz-ur-Rehman Durrani expressed his views on the
topic of "safeguarding the assets of Central Secretariat". He said that MQI was
a welfare organization and safeguarding the assets of the organization was our collective
responsibility. He said that we should explore further avenues to develop the financial
strength of Secretariat for its efficient functioning.

Third Day of Training Course

After the beginning of the programme, Allama Muhammad Miraj-ul-Islam, Dean of
Department of al-Hadith of Minhaj University Lahore, threw light on the most important
topic of "how to develop positive thinking and the effects of social evils". He
said that it was unfortunate that the subject of our most of discussions was the
character and personality of others, which amounted to their backbiting in most
of the cases. He said that it was the most lethal disease that undermined the roots
of human society. We should vow to eradicate this evil. He also referred to a number
of Prophetic traditions on the topic said that there was dire need to get rid of
this habit.

Senior naib Nazim-e-Ala, Sheikh Zahid Fayyaz, lectured on "practical steps to
make the atmosphere at Central Secretariat exemplary" in the concluding session
of the Course. He presented a unanimous resolution composed of proposals and suggestion
to improve the working and atmospherics, which was supported by all those present
on the occasion. The staff and workers took oath to work hard to make improvements
in that regard.

The Resolution had following points:

Every worker and staff member of Central Secretariat would remain in the state
of ablution.

Every staff member would recite a particular portion of the Holy Quran before
the formal start of work. He is expected to do so after offering the Fajr prayers
at home. If he does not do so, then he should recite the Holy Quran before the start
of work at office.

Every worker would offer prayer regularly in Mosque.

Everyone would offer Durood, Kalma daily.

No one would indulge himself in backbiting, rumour-mongering and character assassination
of others.

Discipline would be followed religiously at the Secretariat. The seniors are
expected to show mercy and affection for the juniors while the juniors would extend
respect to the seniors.

All official mattes like in-time attendance of office and assembly, cleanliness
of the office and the performance of duties would be performed with high sense of
devotion and duty.

Undue use of phone, electricity and vehicles would be avoided.

Every department would cooperate with the other department and the attitude of
non-cooperation would not be tolerated.

Every effort would be made to act upon the saying of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad
Tahir-ul-Qadri that "when you deal with Allah, be indifferent to humanity and in
case of dealing with humanity, do not allow ill-commanding self to intervene."

Central Director of the Directorate of Training, Dr Tanvir Azam Sandhu, thanked
all the participants for their cooperation and interest in making the training course
a success. Allama Ghulam Murtaza Alvi and Qamar Javed Malik performed the coordination
duties. The Camp ended on Dua.
